VIDEO PAINT: CHAPTER TWO 295
Using the Clone tool
The Clone tool is similar to the Paint tools except that it uses the image
for its color palette. For example, you can paint onto an image with
another part of the same image, or even from a second image in another
edit window. This is useful when you wish to replicate an object in an
image, such as creating dozens of fighter planes using one as the template,
or if you want to remove areas from the foreground and replace them with
the background, such as wires or props that were used during filming.
When using the Clone tool, you can also choose the type of paintbrush
you want to use from the Attribute toolbar. (To learn about cloning over
several frames, see the "Duplicating changes over frames" section, page
260.)
To use the Clone tool:
1.
Click the Clone tool on the Tool panel to select it. The Attribute
toolbar displays the available tools you can use to paint with and the
Brush panel changes to show the available attributes for the selected
tool.
2.
Hold down the [
SHIFT

wish to clone. This area is marked with a crosshair and the mouse
pointer changes to the clone pointer. (You can clone from the same
image or from another edit window.)
3.
Move to the area on the image where you want the clone to appear and
start dragging your mouse. The crosshair changes to indicate the area
you are cloning and as you paint you replace the area with whatever
the crosshair passes over. (The size and shape of the area painted are
determined by the current attributes in the Brush panel.)
In the Options tab of the brush panel, you can specify how the cloning
point behaves as you paint with the Absolute, Frame, and Relative
options. Absolute is the default mode and paints whatever the clone
crosshair passes over. Whenever you release your mouse the crosshair
returns to its original position allowing you to clone the same feature
again. Relative allows you to clone continuously, retaining a relation-
